[Hidden-tech] RFP for Web Design Project

[Patrick Davis]

Greetings; we are seeking a qualified web developer/development firm for 
the following project.  Please visit http://www.yes-inc.org for the 
complete RFP.


This RFP <http://www.yes-inc.org>describes the details of a project 
currently undertaken by the North Quabbin Youth  Leadership Council, a 
program of  YES, Inc. in Orange, Massachusetts.  The working title of 
the project is "Teen Web Portal", which encompasses five major 
objectives to be supported by a well-developed web presence:

    * The site will be a place for teens across Franklin and western
      Worcester counties to interact using modern, viral and social
      networking tools.
    * The site will be a destination for the sharing and receiving of
      important, community based resources and event information
      specific to teens in the demographic.
    * The site must have a clean, simple interface which is driven by a
      content management system which will enable administrative control
      as well as multi-tier, permissions based "log-in" or user accounts
      for staff and community members alike.
    * The site must be sustainable in design, meaning coded in such a
      fashion that YES, Inc. may change or augment the site's elements
      and/or site based services (such as hosting, CMS, functionality or
      email) at its future discretion as needed.
    * The site must contain a "banner" or site based graphical or
      text-link advertising feature with administrative controls and
      tracking capacity, which will be the major tool for project-based
      revenue generation

 Additional Feature requirements are outlined in the RFP doc, here.

website and downloading the RFP document here. <http://www.yes-inc.org>

*In selecting a website designer, YES, Inc. seeks a vendor experienced 
with modern, social-networking  website design, and experience 
particularly with the challenges and considerations of servicing the 
communities of Franklin County would be beneficial, though not 
necessarily required. The vendor will meet in person with our Website 
Committee to discuss their vision of the website, present and discuss 
examples of past work, and field questions from Website Committee 
members. Examples of topics for further discussion, or information 
desired by the Website Committee are included in the RFP doc 
<http://www.yes-inc.org>.*

*Budget*

Yes, Inc. has allocated a budget of  $3,000.00 toward website design and 
maintenance; proposals at this point should be considered a "bid", 
representing the designer's estimates of real cost given the description 
above. Proposals must also include estimates of expected yearly 
maintenance costs, which will be an important factor in considering the 
proposal.  Each proposal will be evaluated independently and the winner 
will be awarded on the basis of the most complete, qualified proposal 
fitting within the budgeted funding allocation.
